This is a “famous” recipe for fudge that has a little story behind it. Everyone always wanted Kay’s recipe, so, in the end, it went on her gravestone.

Torte
The title of this recipe is “torte” but it isn’t really a torte. It isn’t really a pavlova either. Trying to find a recipe just like this one is impossible. But this is a traditional Christmas dessert in my family. It requires a DOZEN eggs. When it bakes, it ends up with a nice crunchy coating. It is covered with whipped cream.
Strawberry Pretzel
This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.
Springerle Cookies
Well now I am a little confused. I have two springerle cookie recipes, this one and one called “Mrs. Miller’s Springerle Cookies”. I think this is actually the one that my grandmother used.
Sour Cream Rhubarb Squares
I like rhubarb, but have never made these.
Southern Creole Pralines
I loved these when I bought them at Stuckey’s. These are probably even better, but never made them.
Small Jelly Role
This looks yummy, but never tried because I didn’t want to try to roll cake.
Scotch Krispies
Love this version over the rice crispy treats anyday.
